I am now attempting to detect when a hand is in contact with an item based off webcam footage, but I haven\u2019t found a working solution to this yet. I am currently using YOLO for object detection because I realized it might be more promising than trying to figure out when a hand is grabbing an item with a custom algorithm. I\u2019ve read a little into the HPS OpenCL guide in order to make myself a little more familiar with the framework as I will be working with Simon after break on the FPGA side of things for our project, but mainly focusing on software for now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Progress<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I am still a bit behind schedule as I have not fully implemented a working algorithm for detecting when someone picks up and puts down an item yet. I will very likely be working on the software implementation during spring break should I still be behind next week, as I want to make sure we can integrate our system after with no delays. However, to catch up for next week, I will read more into YOLO\/OpenCV documentation to see if there are things I can try in getting hand contact with items to be recognized by the algorithm, and attempt implementing those solutions. I\u2019ve already searched a bit to see what types of algorithms I could use but haven\u2019t found an idea that seems truly feasible\/efficient yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br style=\"font-weight: 400\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Accomplishments This week, I mostly worked on preparing for the design presentation that happened this Wednesday, since I was the presenter this time around.
